More than 9,000 people arrested by American police since protests erupted in the United States

International

New York, (ST) – The American police arrested more than nine thousand people across the United States amid the ongoing protests over the death of  the African American citizen George Floyd who was killed by a police officer in Minnesota.

Associated Press reported that the American police arrested 2.7 thousand people in Los Angeles, 1.5 thousand people in New York State, and hundreds of people were arrested in Dallas, Houston and Philadelphia.

Mass demonstrations erupted last week in response to a video that showed a white police officer in Minneapolis grinding his knee into unarmed black man George Floyd’s neck for more than eight minutes, while Floyd said: “I can’t breathe.”

US President Donald Trump threatened to use unlimited military force to suppress the protesters, while the American police killed ten people during the demonstrations that included about 140 American cities.
